When the Friends United Meeting General Board met on October 3-5, members approved the recommendations of new members to serve on the Board of Trustees of Ramallah Friends School. The recommendations were brought by Omar Tesdell, Rania Maayeh, and Kelly Kellum, who served as the RFS Board Nominating Committee.
We are delighted to welcome Heba Tantash, Eyad Khalaf, and Cliff Loesch as new members of the Board of Trustees. Additionally, Fadi Imseih has agreed to serve a second term. In addition, the services of Jane Carter and Mazen Karam, who were recommended last year but not installed due to the crisis, have now been approved. Jane is a new member, and Mazen is returning to the Board after a few years’ absence.
The FUM community is deeply grateful for the service of the RFS Board of Trustees during these challenging times, amidst the ongoing occupation and turmoil of war. Their unwavering commitment to the mission of Ramallah Friends School is truly inspiring and their service comes at a vital time in the school’s history.
